Application of a systematic approach or method to solve a problem. Today, the term almost always implies the use, in one way or another, of computers.
The application of sciences to industry or commerce. Many areas of law have relevance in relation to technology, including health and safety; patents and copyright; labour and industrial relations and retail.
A set of prescribed actions that are grounded in scientific knowledge, practice, expertise, or ideology and that direct activities, decisions, and choices towards goal achievement. Various types of technologies exist, e.g., mechanical technology concerns machines. Information technology (IT) or information and communications technology (ICT) involves working with information. Assistive technology concerns devices to help people with disabilities, e.g., hearing aides.
(tek-nol'o-je) [" + logos, word, reason]. 1. The application of scientific knowledge. 2. The entire scientific knowledge used in solving or approaching problems and situations. 3. The entire body of knowledge available to a civilization.
Context is: trade term. Knowledge of the means and methods of producing goods and services, or the application of science to production or distribution, resulting in the creation of new products, new manufacturing processes, or more efficient methods of distribution. See also Adjustment; Distribution; Efficiency; Intellectual Property; Knowledge-Based Industry; Patent; Production; Structural Change; Trademark; Technology Transfer.
The science of controlling forces, both natural and social, to produce desired effects.
The application of scientific discoveries to the development and improvement of goods and services that ideally improve the life of humans and their environment. Such goods and services include materials, machinery, and processes that improve production or solve problems. In schools, technology ranges from pencils, books, and furniture to lighting, transportation, computers, and more. Most common references in schools imply computing or computer-related programs.
scientific discovery or modification of products and methods, usually advanced through research and development.
the practical application of science to commerce or industry
the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems; "he had trouble deciding which branch of engineering to study"
a basic skill that will help staff become lifelong learners capable of critical thinking and problem solving
a committed provider of services to the life sciences market
a general type of organizational problem solving which is applied to the whole organization and not just one of its problems

The application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives.
The purposeful application of scientific knowledge; an environmental force that consists of inventions and innovations from applied scientific and engineering research.
Technology: the science of the application of knowledge to practical purposes; the application of scientific knowledge to practical purposes in a particular field (Webster's Third New International Dictionary, 1971).
the application of scientific or other organized knowledge--including any tool, technique, product, process, method, organization or system--to practical tasks. In health care, technology includes drugs; diagnostics, indicators and reagents; devices, equipment and supplies; medical and surgical procedures; support systems; and organizational and managerial systems used in prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
Products, processes, or related findings that are tangible, reproducible, and scientific or technical in nature.
the application of scientific advances to benefit humanity
"The body of tools emerging from the interplay of scientific knowledge and practical operation applied to specialized purposes." Drucker PF. Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices. New York, NY: Harper & Row; 1974.
Machinery, equipment and processes developed using scientific knowledge and information.
A body of knowledge used to create tools, develop skills, and extract or collect materials; the application of science (the combination of the scientific method and material) to meet an objective or solve a problem.
changes in the science of mechanics, computers and industrial arts that impact every business.
Technology is the application of processes, methods, or knowledge to achieve a specific purpose. Scientists and engineers develop technology with positive outcomes in mind such as increasing production and improving communication. Products of technology including computers, telephones, radios, and scientific equipment affect human conditions. Many believe the influences are positive, but some consider the negative ramifications of technology. For example, citizens differ in their viewpoints of nuclear energy. Does it provide safe fuel, or do the risks of disaster override its potential?--Back to TEKS
